Answer:

a) vavg = 16.59 m/s

b) vrms= 26.42 m/s

c) the most probable speed is the average speed = 16.59 m/s  (since the is no particle with 16.59 m/s → 16m/s is the most probable speed observed)

Explanation:

a) the average velocity will be

vavg =( 1/total number of particles )*∑ velocity * number of particles  

= (2*11 + 4*16 + 4*22 +3*25 + 6*31  + 1*34 + 2*41)/ (2 + 4 + 4 +3 + 6 + 1 + 2) = 16.59 m/s

b) the root mean squared speed (rms) will be

vrms=√[( 1/total number of particles )*∑ velocity² * number of particles] =   √[ (2*11² + 4*16² + 4*22² +3*25² + 6*31²  + 1*34² + 2*41²)/ (2 + 4 + 4 +3 + 6 + 1 + 2)]  = 26.42 m/s

c) if any particle is chosen at random then the probability of choosing that particle will be the given be the fraction of particles over the total , and thus the expected speed (most probable speed ) will be the average speed = 16.59 m/s ( since the is no particle with 16.59 m/s → 16m/s is the most probable speed observed)

Anettt [7]
<h2>Question:</h2>

In this circuit the resistance R1 is 3Ω, R2 is 7Ω, and R3 is 7Ω. If this combination of resistors were to be replaced by a single resistor with an equivalent resistance, what should that resistance be?

Answer:

9.1Ω

Explanation:

The circuit diagram has been attached to this response.

(i) From the diagram, resistors R1 and R2 are connected in parallel to each other. The reciprocal of their equivalent resistance, say Rₓ, is the sum of the reciprocals of the resistances of each of them. i.e

\frac{1}{R_X} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}

=> R_{X} = \frac{R_1 * R_2}{R_1 + R_2}             ------------(i)

From the question;

R1 = 3Ω,

R2 = 7Ω

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

R_{X} = \frac{3 * 7}{3 + 7}

R_{X} = \frac{21}{10}

R_{X} = 2.1Ω

(ii) Now, since we have found the equivalent resistance (Rₓ) of R1 and R2, this resistance (Rₓ) is in series with the third resistor. i.e Rₓ and R3 are connected in series. This is shown in the second image attached to this response.

Because these resistors are connected in series, they can be replaced by a single resistor with an equivalent resistance R. Where R is the sum of the resistances of the two resistors: Rₓ and R3. i.e

R = Rₓ + R3

Rₓ = 2.1Ω

R3 = 7Ω

=> R = 2.1Ω + 7Ω = 9.1Ω

Therefore, the combination of the resistors R1, R2 and R3 can be replaced with a single resistor with an equivalent resistance of 9.1Ω

An automobile engine can produce 153 N · m of torque. Calculate the angular acceleration (in rad/s^2) produced if 85.2% of this
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

46.2 rad/s2

Explanation:

Angular acceleration works very similar to linear acceleration, it follows this equation:

\gamma = \frac{Mt}{J}

Where:

γ: angular acceleration

Mt: torque

J: moment of inertia of the load from its turning axis

Since we have the torque we just need the moment of inertia. We have to add together the moments of the drive shaft, tires, wheel walls and wheels.

The wheels act like disks. For disks the moment of inertia is:

J = \frac{1}{2} * m * r^2

Jwheel = \frac{1}{2} = 15 * 0.18^2 = 0.243 kg*m^2

The wheel walls act like annular rings, for these the moment of inertia is:

J = \frac{1}{2} * m * (re^2 - ri^2)

Jwall = \frac{1}{2} * 2 * (0.32^2 - 0.18^2) = 0.07 kg * m^2

The tread acts like a hoop, as in mass concentrated into a circunference, for these:

J = m * r^2

Jtread = 10 * 0.33^2 = 1.09 kg*m^2

The axle acts like a rod, which is the same as the disk:

Jaxle = \frac{1}{2} * 14.1 * 0.02^2 = 0.0028 kg*m^2

The drive shaft acts like a rod too:

Jshaft = \frac{1}{2} * 31.7 * 0.032^2 = 0.016 kg*m^2

SO, the total moment of inertia is:

J = 2*Jwheel + 2*Jwall + 2*Jtread + Jaxle + Jshaft

J = 2*0.243 + 2*0.07 + 2*1.09 + 0.0028 + 0.016 = 2.82 kg*m2

Finally the angular acceleration is:

\gamma = \frac{0.852 * 153}{2.82} = 46.2 \frac{rad}{s^2}

A mover does 422 J of work pushing a crate 8.39 m. How much force did he exert?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

50.3N

Explanation:

Work done = force x distance

422J. = force x 8.39m

÷8.39 both side to get force

Force is 50.3N to 1 d.p.

Check:

50.3 x 8.39=422.017J

Same as 422J to 1 d.p

aliina [53]

Answer:

Technique to reduce Noise, magnetic attraction and Twitching sensation

Explanation:

Changing magnetic fields cause loud knocking noise this can be overcome by ear protection.

Strong and Static magnetic fields attract magnetic objects that can be avoided by screening of people and objects before entering in that area.

Twitching Sensation due to nerve stimulation can be avoided by reducing the exposure to magnetic field.

Please mark branliest if you are satisfied with the answer. Thanking you in anticipation.
